Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I hesitate to praise Dr Gunaratnam to the skies and back, because I'm certain he will attract a large group of loyal patients. I was blown away by his demeanor, his patience, his knowledge, his willingness to answer questions. And the answers were all thorough and understandable. I was so impressed that I did something I have NEVER done before in my long life at a first appointment. I asked If Garry Nims (of whom I am sister and guardian) could become his patient. Please be kind and good and generous with Dr Gunaratnam. He is definitely a keeper.

The doctor was good and I was comfortable with him. I needed to ask about which drugs he was taking about - he used the proper names. I had to ask for the drugs layman's names.

Good experience
Dr. Gunaratnam was very personable. He explained that I was taking a medication I had been on for years, at the wrong times so it wasn't working.

Nurse Bob, the person who initially took care of me was so kind. He started the best IV start I have ever had. I’m a cancer and heart attack survivor, I’ve had many IV’s. Everyone who was part of my entire procedure was extremely professional and kind. I couldn’t have had a better experience

Outstanding, personable, exceeded expectations.
It was my first in-person consultation with Dr Gunaratnam after he has been following my health issues in the background over the past 5 months. He is so reassuring, very thorough in reviewing all medical and treatment history, and very experienced in diagnosis and prognosis. He is very personable in putting context of my disease to my life experiences and situation. I also appreciate his recommendations on educational materials, research and literature on my health condition. I fully agree with his holistic approach to health and wellness. Overall, a very positive and excellent medical visit, well worth the long wait. I definitely recommend Dr. Gunaratnam.
